Discussion Dear Mike Repole

So you’re demanding 5,000 Stallions season ticket purchases in the next few days, and then you promise “better marketing” AFTER that? Forgive me if I find that a little @$$-backward, Mike.

How about a month of solid advertising and then see how many purchases are made? Otherwise this sounds like Stan Kroenke saying he’ll keep the Rams in St. Louis if only the city spends a billion on the dome, when in fact he decided he was leaving years before.

I’ve talked to friends and family in Birmingham, big football fans, who didn’t even know the Stallions existed, and it would certainly be easy to not know given the near-total absence of marketing! If you truly believe in Birmingham as you say, let’s see it. Give the city a chance. Really get the word out and allow a little more time, and I think you’ll get the response you want.

Come on. 3 straight championships and No one in Birmingham has heard of the stallions? That doesn’t pass the sniff test.

I live in another city south of Birmingham and I knew who the Stallions are. I think it’s clear that the Stallions are going to move. UFL is just trying to get money.

My own sports-obsessed kids know about the UFL and laugh it off as minor-league small potatoes.
